1998: The Year Of Master P & No Limit Records

[@Syte425]

When you buy a No Limit album it had the coming soon albums inside…it was like a collect them all feel to it…me and my homies were definitely grabbing albums and barely knowing the artists..but every album featured all the No Limit soldiers on it so it was like buying a compilation album every time.

We were all guilty of that. Some were total garbage but some were like hidden gems. Big Ed’s first cd was a great example. Skull Duggery was a great example of a garbage one. But it’s subjective. I’m sure there’s people out there that feel the opposite of those two. To this day I still have at least a dozen or so of these cds.

Many don't realize how he also was responsible for his son having a show on Nickelodeon (Romeo), not to mention the trend of rappers and athletes having their own brands (or starting up brands). The man definitely deserves praise and his flowers. RIH to his daughter who unfortunately also passed this year. 😢

Never any scandal or shady rumors about him, his son is successful and he still has relationships with 90% of his artists. Just check the roster for the NoLimit reunion tour! Damn near everybody who was on NoLimit in the 90’s minus C-Murder is on the tour. LOUISIANA STANDUP! PS Momma Mia is the top 3 female rappers 1) Queen Latifah - best lyricist, insane flow and meaningful lyrics 2) MC Lyte - insane flow and meaningful lyrics. 3) Mia X - insane flow, hard country lyrics and passionate lyrics.

It kind of bothers me how No Limit, overall, is overlooked in most hip-hop conversations. It almost feels as if they were never even here. No Limit was E V E R Y TH I N G during this period. I was so obsessed that I'd buy the cassettes and CDs. I'd go to several stores just tryna find Kane & Abel debut LP because they were still operating independently and most stores weren't selling every single artist on the roster. I'm from the Bay so imagine going from Stonestown all the way to Serramonte tryna find Skull Duggery debut LP. When I finally found it, the packaging was all tattered because again, they were operating, independently. My favorite No Limit release would have to be Mystikal's _Unpredictable._ Whew! I used to let that CD spin on repeat religiously right before school. I'm not gon nitpick every single track, but that _jawn_ means the world to me. After that I love Mac's _Shell Shocked._ Bomb ass LP. Silkk's first and second LPs were bomb. You know Mr. Milller's (Master P) LPs were bomb. And they put a lot of work into the packaging. I was there for the anticipation of that Mercedes' _Rear End_ LP. Po' thang couldn't sing a lick, but the artwork was bomb (for obvious reasons). Kane & Abel always came though w/ a bomb LP. Nah, I clocked out by the end of 1999. I curiously transferred over to Cash Money. I didn't mean to. It just happened. I think Baby and them put a root out or something because how does a label like No Limit just vanish into thin air? I know that fans are fickle, but DAMN!
